Two becomes three.....

Last week I mentioned being offered a job at a university downtown and needing to decide which of my current part-time jobs to ditch.

Well.....

I decided to keep all three!!

You see, even though the university job pays more, it's just two nights a week, so by requesting those be my two days off from the crafts store and some slight tweaking with my city job's schedule, I'd only be working two jobs per day.

Three jobs are a lot to take on at once but I think it's doable.

I had to give up Thursdays again and will be working EVERY day from now on once I officially start the college job this week.

There will be very little time for my art but that's just the way it'll be....for now. If it proves to be too much I can easily drop the arts-and-crafts store.

While waiting for my train into the city the other day, I saw a piece of cracked glass on the platform. The splinters reflected the light, almost like a violent spider web.

I felt how that piece of glass looked. It was shattered yet still intact--still functioning.

God willing, I can make it through this new workload....without breaking into multiple pieces!

Congratulations on the new (additional) job. It will be nice I'm sure to have some more income. I hope you enjoy it, but hope you'll really guard against burn out. Maybe develop a game plan if the three jobs become too much. Do NOT break into multiple pieces; you will not reflect the light like that glass!

This is great news. I never liked that woman at the craft store based on what you have shared. Hopefully this will lead to better things - colleges pay nicely if you can get on fulltime and the benefits are usually very good!

Dean, I totally believe in you. I think you can and will handle all three jobs in stellar fashion! I say a prayer for you each day and more than once on the days I catch up on your blog. I believe in you, and what's more, I know God believes in you too, even more than all of us here combined.

Congrats and good luck! You can totally do it. It'll take some getting used to but it wont be that bad. I remember when I was in college I was studying full time from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, worked as a tutor from 2 to 5 and as an English teacher from 6 to 8 every day! It was tiring but doable! So be strong Mr.!!! :)

This sounds like you will be a 'bit' busy, but then again that is a good thing. You get all that exercise, each job with its unique challenges, more money, wide variety of people to relate with, keep you looking forward to the next thing, etc. I know you'll do great. B-r-e-a-t-h!!
